He's already off on a real vacation of j
a month. His immediate destination j
Is Toint Isaliel, Tox.. via San Antonio 1
and lirownsvillo. I’oint Isabel is on I
the Gulf, 20 miles from Brownsville !
and six miles from the Mexican line. ;
it has a population of 10() whites and |
150 Mexicans. There golf, bathing, !
flshins and hunting are right at hand.
Col. F. E. Scobey. now of San Antonio

Ohif), made liim promise to go. win or
lose, the night he w'as nominated. R.
B. Crenger. a San Antonio banker, who
seconded bis nomination at Chicago,
has turned over his cottage. Of course,
the poor nuin vrill be guarded by se
cret service operatives and pestered by
i\ewspaper men and photographers,
but he will have a goodly company of
Rolf buddies and other intimate friends
along. And politics and visitors will
be barred-
Mr. Harding is planning to go to
the Canal Zone, after a fortnight at
Point Lsabel. He has been preaching
tbat the new' American merchant ma
rine should pass free througli the Pan
ama canal and he wonts first-hand in-
fonnation on conditions. Return is
set for December 6. He plans to re
sign his seat as senator January 10.
when (]lovernor-elect Davis of Ohio will
be inaugurated and Senator-elect Wil
lis wU'i be appointed Mr. Harding’s
successor. '
Alfred E. Smith, Democratic gover
nor of New York, ear^d a new title
<n the election—“Miracle Man of Amer
ican Politics.” Why, he almost re
elected himself In the face of a Hard-
iDs ma.iority of more than a million.
The presidential vote was about this:
Hnrdlng, 1,842,222; Cox, 7S2.G93. The
Kubernatovial vote was about this:
Miller, 1,319.580; Smith. l.256,;m. Re
publicans and Deuiocrats alike say the
feat is unprecedented. “Al,” as every-
bofly calls him, has come wp from an
orphan newsboy. Now he Is spoken
of as the logical candidate for the
pr*n«idency in 1924.
By-products of the election are many
anil Interesting. Harding shatters a
tradition that no siti'ng senator can be
elevated to the White House. Coolidge,
who violates every principle of poli
tics laid down by the practical poli
ticians. wins his seventeenth succes
sive candidacy.
Oklahoma elects Alice M. Robertson
of Muskogee, Republican, aged sixty-
alx, to congress; she went to Indian
Territory by prairie schooner, has
taught in Indian schools most of Iier
life, would let no soldier or sailor pay
iff her cafeteria and is a heaven-born
-cook. Harry T. Bum, Republican
member of the Tennessee legislature
«lio cast the deciding vote for the suf
frage amendment ratification, is re
elected by a plurality of' about 100^
after a bitter fight. .Taller Festus
Whitaker of Letcher county, Kentucky,

was confined because of a fight over
politics last summer.

•ands Joifi Junior
Organiiation
Atlanta, Ga., Nov.—If the men and
women of the south shOw onerhalf the
enthusiasm in the Fourth Red Cross
iloll Call that children of the south
are displaying in renewing their al-
legianee to the Junior Red Gross, the
southern division will show a record
number of Red Cross members when
the 'Roll Call ends,
Truly, children are learning the wa^
for the grownups in joining tha Reo
Cross, according to figures given out
today at Red Cross division headqua,;
ters in Atlanta.
Reorganization of the Junior Reil
Cross was begun when schools opened
this fall. Now, although but littla
mote than a month has passed, nioro
than twenty thousand children in the
southern division have renewed thuii
membership in the Red Cross, and bt^-
fore Christmas, it is expected triple
that number will have enrolled.
The Junior Red Cross, virhile auxil
iary to the American Red Cross, a
separate and distinct organization,
v/ith its own program of service. It is
organized through the schools, where
it is one of the most popular and high
ly regarded of student activities. The
Juniors have their own “roll calls”,
the time varying with the different
sol’ools.
Many Juniors Jiad their “roll calls’
when school first opened this year.
That the children are more enthusias
tic than ever in Red Cro3.o woik is
demonstrated by the fact that, vvhile
less, than 2,000 had joined the Red
Cross by November 1, 1919, more than
20,000 have joined already this year.
Last year the Junior Red Cross in
the southern division had a total"mem
bership of l<i2.S07. ,Judging by the
way in w'hich children are enrolling
this year, the 1920-21 membership will
so well beyond 200,000.
The purpose of the Junior Rc-d
Cross end itt; activities could not be
better explained than by'*»James N.
Rule, national direct#r of the Junior
Red Cross. He says:
‘ The Junior Red Cross is the child
hood of America mobilized through tne
schools—public, parochial and ijrivata
—for the purpose of inculcating ideal?
and habits of service among children
the world over, w*ith the idea that the
men and women of toi||orrow will, as
a result of this childhood practice,
think in terms of service to others:
for the purpose not merely of training
in citizenship for the future, but of
making unselfish, useful young citi
zens today; f9r the purpose of instill
ing respect and obedience to the law
of the land, and for the purpose of
transmitting America to succeeding
generations cleaner, healthier and
happier than it was found.
“The requirement for membership
is solely one of service. There is no
individual membership fee. The use
fulness of a Junior Red Cross auxil
iary in alleviating want and suffering
among children at home and abroad
depends on the initiative and enter
prise of the classroom group and the
teacher, the latter being the auxiliary
leader.
“Everything done is by co-operative
effort ot teacher and class, whether it
be in raising money by some’ entertain
ment or industry; the making of gar
ments, furniture, toys, scrapbooks, or
in a, community betterment activity.
‘Training in Citizenship Through Serv
ice’ and ‘Happy Cbjldhood the World
Over’ are slogans of the Junior Red
Cbdss which broadly characterize its
mission.
“Formed in 1917 to help win the
war, the Junior Red Cross, with a mem
bership of 10,000,000, produced in
twenty months $15,000,000 worth of
useful articles for American soldiers,
sailors, marines and war • stricken
peoi^e of other lands. But in this
service the childhood of America was
only awakened to a Consciousness of
its power for good, with the result that
Armistice Day, 1918, sounded to this
unprecedented childhood’s organiza
tion as a clarion call to ‘carry on.’
“Since then the Junior Red Cross
has grown to approximately 1,000,000
members; has raised considerably
more than a million dollars in money,
has produced countless articles of prac
tical use for destitute families at home
and abroad, these articles including
layettes, clothing, toys, tables and
chairs, and has distributed free milk
and other food in various forms.
“Essentially a school organization,
the Junior Red Cross operates along
educational lines, its relief projects
being introductions tor the promotion
of goodwill, good citizenship and al
truism.
“Forty . per cent of the auxiliary
funds raised by. group co-operation is
devoted to purely local relief am'ong
needy children. Sixty per cent is for
warded to National Headquarters in
Washington, where it is administered,
without overhead expenses.
“This is being used for orphanages,
